5 risers and 3 fallers from Kentucky’s win over Albany

The Kentucky Wildcats post another win to start off this Thanksgiving week, defeating the Albany Great Danes 86-61.

The Great Danes came into Rupp Arena 0-4 in the win/loss column, but that didn't scare them away as their trap defense bothered the ‘Cats and forced a ton of mistakes in the first half. Kentucky also once again struggled to get going defensively, and Albany took advantage to put together an impressive half and keep the game close.

The second half proved to be too much for Albany though, as the talent gap started to show, and the defense by Kentucky started to heat up.
